In a fashionable turn of events, a survey conducted by the esteemed firm Coinbase in collaboration with EY‑Parthenon has revealed that institutional investors, those respectable pillars of the financial world, prefer Solana over the more mischievous pair of XRP and Dogecoin. It is a curious contrast, for in the realm of spot crypto ETFs the winds blow in favor of XRP, whose funds boast greater net assets than those of Solana and the dog‑brand coin. One might say they trade like two different characters in a Chekhov play: one preoccupied with the quaint and the other with the practical.
Institutions Are More Invested In Solana Than XRP And Dogecoin
The survey, precise as a Swiss watch, tells us that a larger number of institutions have invested in Solana than have done so in the more unassuming XRP and Dogecoin. Presently, 36 % of the respondents report having allocations to Solana as of January 2026, while an additional 38 % plan to increase those amounts. In contrast, only 18 % of them have allocated to XRP and 25 % intend to add more within the same year.
Dogecoin, by contrast, scarcely finds a berth in these capitals: just 2 % of the institutions claimed stakes in DOGE as of January 2026, and a similar 2 % foretell new purchases. It is, in a word, laughable. It must be noted that Solana sits only behind Bitcoin and Ethereum in stature, keeping well ahead of Chainlink, Binance Coin, Cardano, Tron, and Bitcoin Cash.
This stance in the surveyed institutions stands in stark revolt to the trends among crypto ETFs. The data show that the XRP ETFs have commanding net assets of $949.15 million-1.14 % of the token’s market cap-even surpassing Solana and Dogecoin ETFs, whose collective assets amount to $849.65 million and $9.12 million respectively. In a world where numbers write their own stories, this is a truly bustling plot.
Like a clever plot twist, XRP ETFs have attracted higher inflows compared to their Solana and Dogecoin counterparts. Total net inflows for the XRP ETFs stand at $1.21 billion, while Solana and Dogecoin ETFs have seen $993.38 million and $7.64 million respectively.
Institutions Holding Spot ETFs Over Spot Crypto
The survey also indicates that the majority of these institutions are seeking crypto exposure through ETFs, rather than holding the crypto directly. As of January 2025, 64 % of them had chosen ETF routes to access Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, and other digital assets-an eye‑popping rise to 66 % by the beginning of 2026, signaling an appetite that grows with regulatory clarity.
Meanwhile, only 39 % of institutions had embraced spot crypto in January 2025. This dropped to a surprisingly humble 36 % by January 2026, demonstrating a clear preference for the more genteel ETF wrapper. On the other hand, these institutions have turned to digital asset treasury companies (DATs) for further exposure: 51 % in 2025, boosting to 53 % in 2026.
At present, XRP trades around $1.36, slipping more than 2 % over the last 24 hours, as reported by CoinMarketCap.
